A bright and simple summer salad! This easy bell pepper recipe lets the sweet pepper shine.

I’m sure you’ve all realized this by now, but I love salad. Not as a meal necessarily, but as a refreshing balance to any meal. This Herby Sweet Pepper and Onion Salad comes together quickly and can be made ahead of time. There’s not leafy greens that will wilt.

Are bell pepper healthy?

Very. They’re a major boost of vitamin C and fibre with very few calories. Be sure to use red, orange, and yellow peppers for healthy snacks as they pack more nutrition than their green counterparts.

This means not only is this salad extremely low calorie, but it’s packed with Vitamin C and fibre.
